A state trooper probably regrets not reporting a suspected drunk driver after the driver hit him.
Shortly after midnight Sunday, the trooper first spotted the Mercedes at Highway 21 and Highway 6 when the driver swerved into his lane and almost hit him. He continued to watch the Mercedes, observing it swerve back and forth. The trooper told police he considered calling to report a suspected drunk driver, but when the Mercedes slowed, the trooper tried to pass it.
